Every living entity is by nature joyful, spiritually, and because he is materially covered, his joyfulness is hampered. That is the real position. Feverish condition, one becomes sick, attacked with fever\u2014his joyfulness goes away. He becomes sick. Similarly, our natural position is joy. \u0100nandamayo ‘bhy\u0101s\u0101t.<\/p>\n

K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is joyful. I am part and parcel of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a; therefore I must be also joyful. That is natural. If my father is black, then I am also black. If my mother is black, I am also black. So our father, the supreme father K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, is joyful. Don’t you see K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s attitude? Anywhere you see, K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is joyful. He is not engaged in some industrial work or in some heavy machine making. He is simply playing on His flute. You see? And R\u0101dh\u0101r\u0101\u1e47\u012b is there. That is joyful nature. \u0100nandamayo ‘bhy\u0101s\u0101t.<\/p>\n

The Brahma-sa\u1e41hit\u0101 says that His eternal form is \u0101nanda-cinmaya-rasa. Rasa means taste, mellow. So we are also seeking some rasa in everything\u2014a juice. When you taste any fruit or anywhere, you are seeking after some juice, everyone. So there is another juice, which is \u0101nanda-cinmaya, which is spiritual and simply blissful. That is K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s form. \u0100nanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibh\u0101vit\u0101bhis. And then there is expansion of \u0101nanda-cinmaya, that spiritual bliss expansion. That expansion is ourself. He has expanded. We are that expansion, living entities. And \u0101nanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibh\u0101vit\u0101bhis tabh… the gop\u012bs, gop\u012bs are also expansion. The cowherds boys, they are expansion. Everything. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a has expanded Himself. Eko bahu \u015by\u0101ma: “One.” “I am one.” The Supreme Lord says: “I am one. I shall expand.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
